Did you know that Chuck Norris finished The Never-Ending Story? And that he invented gravity? Well, he may not have done everything the Internet says he has, but there's a million other reasons why the man who played Walker, Texas Ranger has reached mythical status.

Okay, so 44 isn't "old," but James Bond is the epitome of a man of a certain age who's got infinitely more swagger than those immature pretty young things. And now, two words guaranteed to make you lose your current train of thought: blue Speedo. (You're welcome.)

Known for thrillers like The Pelican Brief and Inside Man, Denzel Washington has collected two Oscars, two Golden Globes, and one Tony Award during his storied career. He's nominated again in 2013 for his starring turn as a heroic yet flawed pilot in Flight.

Dolph Lundgren, 55

This Adonis-like Swede actually studied chemistry in college and received a Fulbright Scholarship to further pursue chemical engineering at MIT; however, he chose to venture into acting and martial arts after he started dating Grace Jones. Lundgren went on to play the iconic He-Man in Masters of the Universe and many other studly adventurous roles.

From Han Solo to Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford has been leaping off the big screen (and away from huge boulders, snakes, and light sabers) into our hearts for decades. He even made our list of 25 unforgettable teachers, which means that watching his movies pretty much qualifies as educational.

What can we say, we have a massive weakness for all current and former James Bonds. Plus, his name is just so fitting considering those piercing blue eyes.

Samuel L. Jackson, 64

He played a Jedi master in The Phantom Menace and costarred with fellow heartthrob Bruce Willis in Die Hard With a Vengeance, but he's best known as the man concerned with the extremely high number of snakes on this "motherf*cking plane" in, well, Snakes on a Plane, and his character's discovery of the "Royale With Cheese" at French McDonald's in Pulp Fiction.

Sylvester Stallone, 66

"Yo, Adrian!" From Rocky to Rambo, Sly Stallone brought some of the most iconic sports and action heroes to the silver screen. With the success of 2010's The Expendables, Stallone and fellow men-of-a-certain-age action stars Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke proved that badassery isn't just a young man's game.

Now someone please cue up "Eye of the Tiger" while we pay homage to all these extraordinary gents with a training montage.
